Hmm

You can access SVN via http. just point you web browser at the repository.

So you should be able to writing somthing in your favorate scripting
language to do the searching. Thats so long as your subversion
repositatry is stored using Web Dav which is normally true.

You might even be able to use a standard web searching engine there
are quite a few around.
